I've been recently asked by someone to compile a book for him on Corel Draw.. I've never use it before. Is it possible? If yes, then how? Any link for a tutorial?

thank you :)

Are you looking for an HTML or Text compiled book using CorelDraw?

The text compiled ebook is saved as pdf. So really, if you wanted to, you can write the book on MS Word and export it to pdf format. That would be the easiest option. Otherwise for doing on Corel Draw, you would do the following:

  1. Once you've open the Corel Draw program, you need to click on the Text tool which is found in the toolbar.
  2. Form a rectangle on the drawing page by clicking and dragging the text tool.
  3. Write your paragraphs in the rectangle selection. If you need to add pages, you can do so by clicking on the + sign on the page tab.
  4. Then click on "Publish to pdf" from the File menu.

That's all.

Yep, I managed to do it. The first thing as you said is to save the word document as pdf.

Then on Corel Draw, we need to select CMYK and not the default which is RGB. Having done that we need to select the paper type, either A4 or A5. Another most important thing is to set the page x and y axis according to how it'll be compiled. So, by default the X and Y axis will be 190 mm and 277 mm respectively. Lastly the font used in word should be the same as in Corel Draw. This will require to import the fonts to corel.

Thanks though :)

@ziya : It is important that you provide a link that contains the information being asked for. If you were to ask a question and I tell you that you can find the answer by searching for it on Google, then that wouldn't be too helpful, would it?
